MISSION:

The MMRRC at UNC distributes and cryopreserves scientifically valuable, genetically engineered mouse models of human development and disease to serve the biomedical research community. Since 1999 we have served as a member of an NIH funded national network of breeding and distribution facilities plus an information coordinating center serving together as NIH’s premier repository of spontaneous and induced mutant mouse and cell lines (https://www.mmrrc.org). A National Consortium. The MMRRC is comprised of four regional that archive and distribute mice as well as a central informatics and customer service center.

The MMRRC aims to protect and enhance the mouse models, make them more accessible, and to support rigor and reproducibility in animal models research. Our mission also includes innovative research designed to enhance the resource.
